Tales of the Dead

Not Alone

Henry wakes up into an old and lonely home as he looked around at his dark and sad room as he says "Good morning life". He groaned getting out of bed as he looked and sounded like he was apart of the undead. He would shamble toward his bathroom as he looked at himself in the mirror. He laments "Looks at this gross man that stands in front of me oh wait it is me" he chuckled a little as he shows a small smile before going into the shower.

The water was cold and gross looking as he stood there and stiffly cleaned himself in this cold greenish water as the tub had black mold and mildew growing on it. He finished his shower as he grabbed his clothes off the rusted and nasty toilet and began to put them on. He looked at the dust and cobwebs on the bathroom as he sighed not showing a single form of care to the decay and the state of it.

He walked out of his old dust bedroom and began to walk down the hall as the pillars that held it had been cracked and about to give out any day now. He ignored it as always he placed his hand on the railing but it fell off and landed on the first floor. "I need to get that fixed but I don't get enough money to do it." he said to himself. He would then walk down the wet, vile, and distasteful stairs as he ignored it as his each foot slammed down it. The water went into his shoes as he ignored it and ventured onward. He would walk into his run down kitchen as he opened the fridge with some soda, beef jerky and a bunch of things that had been growing mold and gone stale.

He smiled drinking the soda as he threw the empty cans on the ground after closing the fridge door but it fell off after he did. "Heh piece of trash." he turned on the tv and it showed a young pretty reporter. She would say "On the news today we are on the two week hunt for Anna Kelly as she went missing two weeks ago with a man after he said he would drive her home.". He said "Oh such a dumb young lady to do that. Some people I guess are like that.". He sighed before going toward his basement "I better check on her" he would say opening the door.

He began to walk down into the dark and creepy unknown part of the building as he said "Hey Honey you wouldn't believe what is on the news". He heard nothing but silence as he continued to walk down as the walls had chipped paint and the wallpaper was beginning to fall off. "Honey where are you this isn't funny" he would say nervous as he got to the basement as he looked around in the dim lighting as he began to shake.

He would see a figure holding a head as he said "Honey?!" he would look shocked looking at them. He would walk closer and closer as his heart would continue to jump and skip beats the closer he got. "Quit playing around honey this isn't funny ok" he would begin to get upset.

Once he reached the figure he saw it was a rotting corpse of the girl who went missing on the news. Her body was cold with one eye missing from her head as it had fallen off as Henry began to laugh picking up the eye as he said "Honey that isn't funny you would scare me like that". He would place the eye back in.

He kissed her green and pale rotting skin as he hugged her and said "Honey so I saw someone on the news who looked like you. You could be twins" he smiled at the corpse.

He would look at the head she was holding and it was the head of another weapon as he said "Hi Savanna" he smiled before walking while sitting at a table and said "So ready for our anniversary of two weeks?"
